Normal baby diaper changing performance :

Nowadays, very few women are full-time housewives, taking care of their husbands and children at home. Many women work from home. While babies are playing happily in their own little world, mothers are working nearby. But you still need to pay attention to your baby's micro-expressions or micro-movements, which are signals of what your baby needs or wants to do. So, what are the signs that a baby needs a diaper change?

Because the baby does not have the ability to express himself verbally, he can only express some information through crying and actions. Among them, crying is a more effective prompt. When the baby cries, mothers’ first step is to check whether the baby has defecated or urinated. If so, the diaper should be changed in time. If not, your baby may be hungry and it's time to feed.

What are the abnormal manifestations of newborns?

1. Weight loss

On the 3rd to 4th day after the baby is born, the water loss in the body due to bowel movements and sweating is greater than the amount of breast milk consumed, so the baby's weight will temporarily decrease, and will probably return to the birth weight by the time he is discharged from the hospital.

2. Jaundice

Jaundice is a common phenomenon in newborns. Because the liver function of a newborn baby is not yet mature, waste in the blood cannot be processed in time, and the skin will appear yellow, which appears approximately within 3 days to 1 week after birth.

3. Meconium

Newborn babies begin to excrete dark green meconium 10 to 12 hours after birth, which often scares new parents. There will be gradual changes after starting feeding, so mothers don't need to mind.

4. Spitting up

Some babies seem to vomit up their entire meal. As long as your baby seems okay, isn't crying or fussing, and is gaining weight, there's no need to worry. This is not a health issue, it just means mom may have to work harder and do more laundry.

5. Diaper rash

Babies' bottoms are often soaked in poop, and every newborn has redness and sometimes even a little blood around the anus. As long as the mother changes the baby's diapers frequently, wipes them dry after each wash, and applies a layer of diaper cream, the condition will gradually get better.

6. Nasal congestion and difficulty breathing

Most babies have a stuffy nose in their first few weeks of life. The baby is most likely not sick, and the mother's worries are probably unnecessary. The baby's little nose is just adapting to the outside air. The mother can drop a few drops of milk or use saline spray in the baby's nostrils, and then use a ball suction device to suck it out and keep the nostrils unobstructed.

7. Dry and peeling skin

In the first few days after birth, your baby's skin may appear dry, especially on the limbs. Mothers do not need to use lotion on their babies. This is not actually dry skin, but just the surface layer of skin is falling off, and the skin underneath is still very healthy.

8. Scalp scab

Also known as cradle cap, it is a common phenomenon in newborn babies and is not caused by unhygienic conditions. Mothers can gently rub their baby's scalp with olive oil before each bath to soften the scabs, and then gently comb them off with a comb.

9. Farting

Every baby farts. As long as the fart is not accompanied by crying or making a fuss, the mother can regard her baby's fart as something to be proud of. If your baby appears to be in pain every time he farts, you should consult your doctor.
